Chapter 458: Who Will Win?

"Boy, take good care of your head. I don't want anyone else to take what belongs to me!"

A burst of wild laughter echoed from the sky. Even in the presence of three half-step emperors, Yan Jinghong was as arrogant as ever and truly lived up to his reputation as the empire's legend.

Ling Feng clenched his fists and exhaled a long breath.

However, he couldn't relax.

From the attitudes of Deng Xian and the others, Ling Feng sensed the complexity of the situation.

Yan Jinghong's strength, though formidable, couldn't match that of a half-step emperor. Yet, he wasn't afraid of Deng Xian and the others, and even Yan Cangtian didn't dare to show himself openly, only assisting from the shadows.

What kind of colossal force was the Yan family?

Ling Feng tightened his fists. Regardless of Yan Jinghong's strength or the Yan family's power, he had to retrieve

The Profound Art of Acupuncture and Moxibustion

that his grandfather had left behind!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In the next moment, three figures flew over and landed in front of Ling Feng.

General Deng waved his hand, removing the restrictions on the despicable donkey. The donkey rolled lazily on the ground before jumping up.

"Damn old man, how dare you..."

The despicable donkey started to curse but swallowed his words when he saw the three half-step emperors staring at him. He gulped and only dared to curse silently, drawing circles on the ground in frustration.

This guy was truly a bully who feared the strong!

"Damn old men, just wait until I regain my demon ruler strength, and I'll give each of you a face full of gold!" The donkey cursed silently.

Seeing the donkey shrink back obediently, the three elders ignored him and turned their attention to Ling Feng while sighing deeply.

"Thank you Elder Yan, General Deng, and President Hong." Ling Feng cupped his hands and bowed to each of them. If not for their timely arrival, he might have lost his life today.

"You really shouldn't have provoked Yan Jinghong!" Hong Haotian smiled wryly. Back in his youth, Yan Cangtian was notorious for stirring up trouble, and it seemed his successor was even worse!

He felt a bit sorry for the Alchemist Guild, which would inevitably take the blame again in the future!

"Even if you provoked Yan Jinghong, you shouldn't have challenged him to a fight in six months!" General Deng sighed. "That kid is only at the third level of the Spiritual Element Realm, but given his talent... let's not talk about it, or it might discourage you!"

Yan Cangtian patted Ling Feng's shoulder while smiling bitterly. "Even if you challenge Yan Jinghong, you shouldn't have threatened to annihilate his entire family! Do you realize that the Yan family has intermarried with the imperial family for generations? By vowing to wipe out the Yan family, you're essentially declaring war on the imperial family!"

"

Pfft...

"

Ling Feng almost spat out blood.

Nobody told me that!

General Deng leaned in and whispered to Ling Feng, "Kid, you don't know, but the most beautiful woman from Tianwei Academy, who once captivated Elder Yan, is a Yan family woman and now the Empress Dowager!"

"Too much talk!" Yan Cangtian glared at General Deng, clearly displeased with the old man for bringing up the past.

"Uh..." Ling Feng rubbed his nose and smiled wryly. "I was just talking tough. Yan Jinghong threatened to kill you seniors. That's intolerable!"

"Given that kid's arrogance, he might actually do it." General Deng shook his head with a smile. "But don't worry about us. Half-step emperors aren't that easy to kill!"

"Instead of worrying about us, you should focus on yourself. Six months? Why not say ten years!?"

Yan Cangtian gave Ling Feng a reproachful look, his eyes full of concern.

However, Ling Feng understood that Yan Cangtian was only worried about him.

"Only great pressure can transform into great motivation. Besides, I'm not entirely helpless." Ling Feng smiled faintly. "Just wait and see. In six months, I'll give him a surprise!"

Once the break arrives, I'll head to the Misty Ghost Forest to set more Qi-Refining Primordial Locks, and then I’ll go to the demon race to transform the Reincarnated Sword Embryo into the Reincarnated Sword Will.

Additionally, the imperial tomb of the Tiance family will definitely provide a significant opportunity.

Not to mention the Meridian-Breaking Golden Pills!

In six months, if I can break through to the Transformation Realm and combine it with the Primordial Locks and the Eight Desolations Body Refinement Art, I might stand a chance against Yan Jinghong!

Moreover, if my Eye of the Emperor breaks through to a higher realm, I'll gain two incredibly powerful abilities.

Who will win in the end is still unknown!

"I'm just worried that the pressure might be too much." Yan Cangtian patted Ling Feng's shoulder. "It seems there's no time for you to waste. While you still have some life left, I'll teach you a few more secret skills."

"Ling Feng, if you die, my precious granddaughter will turn the world upside down. I'll lend you a hand." General Deng sighed softly.

"Don't look at me. I'm just an alchemist." Hong Haotian coughed when he saw Yan Cangtian and Deng Xian's gazes. "Elder Ling, I may not be as good at fighting as those two old guys, but I can provide you with all the medicinal pills and herbs you need!"

"Thank you, seniors!"

Ling Feng bowed deeply to the three of them. Though he had made a formidable enemy, his support team was equally formidable.

"Alright, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave," General Deng said. He then took a stack of books from his sleeve and handed them to Ling Feng. "Ling Feng, I've heard from Elder Yan about your comprehension abilities. This is the Deng family's fist and spear arts, which are as strong as any earth-tier martial skills. Study them well."

"Thank you, Senior Deng." Ling Feng bowed deeply, filled with gratitude.

"Hehe, just call me grandpa," General Deng said with a suggestive smile before soaring into the sky and disappearing.

"What does that mean?" Ling Feng scratched his head, puzzled as to why he should call him grandpa.

"Hahaha, it seems that the old man has chosen you as his grandson-in-law," Yan Cangtian revealed.

"Uh..." Ling Feng smiled wryly, thinking of Deng Yongshi. He shook his head repeatedly. "I'd better not!"

"Yeah, you really don't have time for romance right now," Yan Cangtian said, grabbing Ling Feng's shoulder. "Come with me back to the Alchemist Guild. By tonight, all the materials for refining the Demon-Transforming Pill will have arrived."

"Wait," Ling Feng said quickly. "Elder Yan, I have some matters to attend to. You and President Hong can wait for me at the Alchemist Guild. I'll come as soon as I'm done."

"Alright." Yan Cangtian nodded. "Yan Jinghong is incredibly arrogant. Since he has promised a fight in six months, he won't act against you now. Take care of your matters quickly and come over."

"Mhmm!" Ling Feng cupped his hands in farewell to Yan Cangtian and Hong Haotian. Then, with the despicable donkey in tow, he flew towards the Lin family.
